Nice kitty!

An interesting story on a man who takes care of abandoned great cats.

Like cats? Joe Taft does. Among his 174 pet cats: 85 tigers, 37 lions, 21 pumas, 19 leopards (two of which are living in his bedroom)

That's a lot of hungry cats in need of support.

The center, which opened in 1991, now has seven full-time and two part-time employees. The center relies on revenue from admissions to keep going -- $100,000 of its $266,000 budget in 2004 came from visitors. Donations and animal naming rights also contribute to the effort, but the center lost about $8,500 last year.
